Collegiate Leadership Summer Bootcamp Series

The AMA Collegiate Leadership Summer Bootcamp Series is a three-part virtual program designed to help chapter leaders prepare for a successful year ahead. Created for presidents, vice presidents, and executive board members, this series equips student leaders with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to lead thriving AMA chapters on their campuses.

Across three interactive sessions, participants will learn how to build strong chapter foundations, recruit and retain members, navigate AMA resources and expectations, strengthen fundraising efforts, and maximize opportunities such as regional conferences, competitions, and the International Collegiate Conference (ICC), and so much more!

Whether your chapter is newly reactivated, growing rapidly, or aiming for Top Chapter recognition, this series will provide practical strategies, helpful resources, and actionable ideas to help your leadership team start the year strong and make the most of your AMA experience.

Additionally, Collegiate Chapters who participate/are represented in all three sessions will be entered into a raffle for one free ICC 2027 student registration! Please note, it does not need to be the same attendee/representative for all three sessions. Faculty Advisors are welcome to attend, however, they will not count as chapter representation for the session.
